Dear Camp Families,
It was so wonderful to see all of you on
Sunday. It was like a reunion with
friends! I just love having so many
returning campers! The campers that were
new to camp, have taken to camp like a fish to water. You wouldn’t even be able to pick out the new
ones because they have been welcomed whole heartedly and fit in so well! It is a joy to have them here! Almost like the gang is back together! Life is good!
On Monday we did our trial rides and had
about 6 campers do re-rides. I think we
have everyone on the love of their life, in the form of a pony, that is! On Monday afternoon we painted ponies,
because why wouldn’t you! We did a slip
and slide, played with small animals, went to Budweiser, and did re-rides! On Monday night we had bag skits. Kris, our General Manager and former camp
director, was with the kids. (I was in a staff meeting, not nearly as much fun
as bag skitsL) She posted on Facebook, that
after 32 years of Bag Skits, she still doesn’t know what room does!
If you don’t know what Bag Skits are it is a fun and funny game! Each room of
campers gets an empty bag and goes to their room and puts 10 items in the
bag. Then everybody comes back out, and we switch all the bags
around. The campers go back to their rooms to make up a skit using the
items in the bag they were handed.
Everyone has a certain amount of time to make up their skit, and then it's showtime! As I said, it is fun and funny - to pick the items in the bag, to figure out your skit, to see what another room did with your items.

Tuesday was a BEAUTIFUL
DAY! We rode in our riding groups in the
morning and did our afternoon activities!
Many of the campers were getting ready for the show last night, so the
rest of the camp had a Casino Night scheduled, but opted for a horseless horse
show instead!
It is Wednesday and pouring rain! We have 20 campers at an away horse
show. It is never a dull moment at camp! Our other 15 campers are at different
stations in the barns. We have a leg
wrapping station going on, how to take a bridal apart and put it back together,
naming the parts of a horse with Annie and she is being labeled, but is a good
sport about it. (Annie the horses, not
the human.) We also have a trivia
station! This afternoon we are going to
have Know-Down Show-Down on all the info they have learned so far! And there will be candy involved…mainly
because we NEVER have candy at camp and anything to help make a rainy day
better is a good thing.
Boo will be writing later this week and
we all know how she is the better writer of the duo! In the mean time you can follow our activities
on Facebook. Here is the link if you
